BR denied talks wif Valdez

- Toure : what can motivate him?

I don't blame Gerrard at all - who doesn't grow older and weaker/slower? It's up to BR to analyse how best to use his strengths (and Gerrard still has lots) and pre-empt situations where his weaknesses may be exploited.

So I feel, after these 7 games, I'd say : Hey BR, wake up man!!!

i'm reading too much negatives in this thread, and we're only 5 games into the season....

In this match, its clearly BR tactic at fault here, after Gerrard scored, the whole fast pace tempo had gone, and Liverpool keep the possession in the middle, but when they lost the possession, they dropped very very deep. Once they get to clear the ball, it will reach fellow Everton player again, its like inviting Everton to trying out their luck of scoring.

What is it, 7 points out of 6 games? With a negative goal difference to boot. That's what you get for buying in quantity over quality. Marko looks like a 20 million flop so far. And please don't give me the "he will only shine in the 2nd half of the season" excuse. By that time, we probably would be hanging somewhere in the middle of the table. Sterling, Balo, Coutinho, basically most of our first XI players are struggling.

I have no idea why BR played Sterling on the left. The boy a total shite at crossing with his left, or right for that matter. Easily the 2nd worst player today, with Marko being first. Kept losing the ball cheaply and had no idea whether to dribble or to pass the ball. From now on Coutinho should always start ahead of Markovic no matter how out of form Cout is.

Yes, Gerrard scored the goal, but he hasn't really helped the team much this season so far. I think it's okay to start him, but he cannot play the full 90 anymore. Br's decision to sub Balo today was shocking, stupid if I'm being brutal. He was the one keeping the pressure to Everton's back 4. Why not sub Gerrard and put Lambert and Balo on the field? Grow some balls Rodgers.

Those 4 games before Chelsea, if we can't win those, then truly bye2 CL next season.

Gerrard is in the team for one and one only purpose. Take penalties and set pieces. We all know he is good at penalties and free kicks but suck at corners.

Soto in 2nd? No problem, knowing BR, we can raid Pelle and Tadic for 20mil each! Which I think might as well get Koeman for 5mil a year.

I am sure that most fans will not frustrated with current standings IF BR doesn't spend >100 million POUND. But heck, he did, so this standings and current performance is so so not acceptable. IMO, only Moreno and Manquillo worth the money spent.

Btw, to those keep on asking "Conclusion? BR out?". I know you guys waiting for some one to say that word, then you will have your happy time flaming and disagreeing. Well I would say, if after 10 games played, we stand at 10 points or less, BR out for me.

Btw, that celebration, don't you think you see it some where last season? Moyes? 
Even an little unknown nobody like you and me know this, why BR still doesn't know? And he keep on buying overpriced non-proven unknown so called young talent youngster and hoping him to turns out good in 2 years time like Hendo did?

So BR is building for the future? Well there will be future if every so called young talent he brought in turn out good, what if they all flop like Aspas, and Borini, and lots lots lots more of flop brought in by BR? There will be never ending cycle and Liverpool will become a mid table club again.

We always play differently with big teams....

When go back to 'smaller' team, Liv team B will play

Signing a good player takes alot of time & effort. Like I hired a person for my company. She told me how good is she, good written resume.. demanded high salary. I don't mind I sign her up with 1 year contract but turn out? Totally opposite..

You won't know the quality until you actually signed and start working him the person. What I'm trying to say there is alot of if

Last season BR proven some point we got back to CL no? We lose 3 game so it is the end? BR out? BR needs to prove yet again? Why not point finger at owners? He hired BR no?

We should have gotten LVG or R.Martinez or DeBoer?

That's how u run ur business.. But not how liv run I mean I don't know how it works in liv but certainly liv culture is way diff from others. At least for me..

But IF BR was my manager, because I hired him.. Things don't work well i take responsibility as well. So early in the season I won't call for silly pointing finger game or call for sack.

Now surely FSG know BR's ability, why not trust the owners? They believed in him, have some faith?

I think the comments about lack of leadership are spot on

With the owner philosophy, we will never get Suarez replacement. nuff said.

I am ok-ish with Balultelli, he is that type of player, you can't change a player play style unless he is versatile enough. And don't forget he is not overpriced, currently his performance may not justify his price tag yet, but if he start scoring goals, its acceptable.

On the other hand, Markovic & Lovren play like a 5 - 10 million player, Lallana is playing like a 10-15 million player.

Also the less vocal mignolet. perhaps BR needs to uncork his voice 
I hope liverpool wins 2-1 at least or even a 1-0 but must win

We have so many strikers that didnt make any impact

1. Cisse
2. Diouf
3. Heskey
4. Morientes
5. Crouch
6. Baros
7. Litmanen

This far i can recall as a liv fan.

I think it's good to give Lambert chance to start and prove his worth. or Maybe BR was hoping link up between Lallana and Lambert to provide the goal. Anyhow BR criticized Balo recently. Hopefully benching him will brings out more hunger to score and do well.
Some of us were suggesting to play Gerrard in more advanced position, I guess u got your wish. When Lucas came in I noticed him and Hendo as two DM with Gerrard further up. And the way he linked up with Balo is just smooth much better than Cout. He may not have the pace anymore but his mind is still quick. It just pity that we never had a proper DM replacement after we lost Alonso or Mascherano. When Gerrard had a few good games in that position last season we made to think that he can do the job. For me he never look comfortable. He is not mobile enough and the age is catching up. And this season when opponents started to close him down more he got less effect on the game. He needs to be where he is most effective. So I think against team with inferior DM we can play Gerarrd in AM role.

Lol... Missed penalty, if not should be 2-2

But it seems all marquee able to take immediate form.

Zzzzzz

Even if we do the same (although at the moment we are not capable) I can see some fan will not be satisfied. I watched the whole Chel-Ars game yesterday. Overall I can say that Chelsea approach is defensive... I know some of our fan will not be happy with that approach more so when playing at home. This season they have the right person to play lone striker upfront so not surprising they can play defensive and get all 3 points. That's the difference between this season and last season

Please call Mourinho and loan us Cech... 

IMO he is much solid compare to Courtois
